8 totally ridiculous quotes from George W. Bush

8 videos that will definitely make you smile

The other night I was bored so got to watching social experiments and just like happy videos on YouTube. Like you know when you got on YT to watch a video or two, and end up staying for hours? Yeah... that happened, but the videos made me smile so it was worth it :-)

8 amazing places in Europe to visit besides Paris and London!

So I had a dream the other night where I was in Vienna, Austria for Christmas. I then googled "Vienna at Christmas" and was astonished that it was actually as beautiful as I pictured in my dreams! I took this as a hint that I should go to Vienna at Christmas, so hopefully that will happen within the next 5 years.

This got me thinking, without the dream, I would've never thought to go to Vienna. When most people think of European major destinations they think of Paris and London (me included!), but below are x other awesome places in Europe! (The descriptions are from around the web, but hopefully I'll be able to do my own reviews some day)

10 unnecessary gendered items we use everyday

1) Shampoo. It's 2014, everyone should have nice/clean/luxurious hair!!

the back of TRESemmé shampoo. crazy—everybody, regardless of gender deserves to look fabulous!

2) Makeup. Wouldn't it be great if everybody walked around like the Capitol of Panem (THG)

3) Clothing. As discussed with my friends earlier (whilst I wore leggings), instead of men's and women's sections in clothes stores, they should just have fashionable and unfashionable!

4) Public bathrooms. It's 2014.

5) Toys. Gendered toys just cause bullying, and judgement—even from parents in some cases.

6) Snuggies. They're literally a blanket/dressing gown/thing you wear to lounge around in, they don't need genders!

7) Chapstick/face care products in general. Everyone should have nice skin and not feel uncomfortable buying a gendered product!!

8) Tea. I'm embarrassed that this is even a thing.

9) Electric razors. Lets be real, the quality of the razor is more important that the users gender.

10) EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT that calls itself "man-sized"

20 things to do alone when you're bored!

originally posted on my old blog on MAY 30, 2013 (wow, over a year ago!)

1. Write your thoughts in a journal, if you’re angry write down what made you angry and screw it up or burn it. It can be fun to keep a journal to look back to in years. I have a 10 year one!

10 YEAR JOURNAL, BUY AT HTTP://WWW.JOURNAL10.COM

2. Read your favourite magazine or book (or buy one!) and sit on your bed and read it with a cup of tea (or maybe coffee if you’re American)

3. Do something nice for someone without them or anyone else knowing you did it. Sometimes seeing someone smile is nice enough, that you don’t even need to tell them you did it – cute I know.

4. Get up early and watch the sunrise. Instagram it if you’re a cool kid.

5. Go for a walk to some nearby parks or flower gardens. Take photos or just relax.

6. Treat yourself to breakfast

7. Treat yourself to lunch

TEA AND SCONES…SO BRITISH

8. Spray your bed with lavender so you can sleep better surrounded by the wonderful smell (cute)

9. Make a bowl full of your favourie fruits and eat them as you watch your favourite TV show (my personal favourites are watermelon….all types, oranges and grapes)

10. Daydream about what you’d do if you won the lottery, then imagine it happening. Maybe all that wishful thinking will pay off.

11. Go to your nearest big city (like I live in Wakefield but it’s crap so I go twice as far to Leeds) and go on a shopping trip, buy some nice clothes, shoes, CD’s, books, whatever, then you can spend your time listening to the CD’s, trying on the clothes, reading the books – fab!

12. Make a list of 100 things you want to do by this time next year, and do 2 every week.

13. Take up a new hobby or activity. Watch video tutorials on Youtube and learn for a few days, if you enjoy it, you can continue doing it and become an expert!

14. Run a nice hot bath and just relax.

15. Learn a foreign language, maybe for somewhere you plan to go within the next few years. In my sidebar there is ‘hello’ written in a random language!

16. Make a chocolate fondue, complete with fruit and marshmallows, yum!

17. Try something new!

18. Go to a book store and find a few new books, then come home and read them next to the fire.

19. Go to the shop and buy tonnes of biscuits, then have a tea party all day long!

20. Do something artsy, like draw or paint. If you’ve ever gone to an art gallery you’ll see that anything can be art, no matter how simple or messy it may look!
